Hate to be a downer but I have 2 friends that have had that surgery.
One lasted 3 years or so the other was on his death bed twice within the first 2 years. Now he is about 4 years into it and is a changed man!
kinda hated to read your post but I beleive it a good friend of mine had the surgery done aswell about a year ago. hes been in and out of the hospital atleast 2 dozen times for hemoraging, hope i spelled that right lol. he wasnt really all that overweight in my opinion, maybe 150 lbs over weight I wish he didnt have the surgery I worry about him all the time. seems the surgery is supposed to be the new and greatest thing for us fat people..... IMO i think its the lazy way out and then they pay for it by being sick all the time...
magnum mans buddy might not have had much choice though at over 700 lbs the surgery may have been the only way to prolong his life.
magnum i read your other post sorry your friend past away before he had the chance of maybe prolonging his life.
